for other Rails- und Ruby-related community platforms.

Congratulations on this release.
The past month snapshots really showed significant speed and stability
improvements (and I'm on Windows...).
A side note for those who installed jruby >1.6 with jdk 7u40 (note: jdk
not
jre), I am now performing kind of real time monitoring of my jruby
scripts
using Oracle's Java Mission Control, bundled with jdk 7u40.
It's quite an improvement over launching jvisualvm by hand on that
particular time of run and losing monitoring of few seconds.
A flight record report gets generated and you can open it even days
later... or on another machine. Neat magic enabled partly by jruby...
I will share this trick on the list tomorrow...

Those guys at ArchLinux don't hang about, and have already updated to
jruby-1.7.5. If like me you futzed your install (to update launcher
etc). You probably should uninstall jruby first, and remove /opt/jruby
(well thats what I needed to do).

Yes, you do assume that. And it is a strictly RVM question.
Having said that, I just ran "rvm get stable" (1.22.18) and it knows
about JRuby 1.7.5 as well as Rubinius 2.0.0.

well just that I was a bit curious I tried rubinius and that failed:
charles$ rvm install rbx
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/rbx-2.0.0.
Not that another ruby distro running under a proprietary vm has the same
value proposition as Jruby
